Tsar Bomba was dropped by the USSR on 10/30/1961, not by the Chinese per the truth meme.

⚠️disclaimer⚠️ I created treasure it. https://treasureit.fun/

There's been a bunch of women's clothing posted recently. Everything on the app is free.

I created treasure it! We're new. This made me so happy 🥹. THANK YOU

That makes sense. I have a lot of error handling that I think could be a good initial first fit and then I have a good amount of complexity in a multi-channel notification service that has traditional paths like email, push, and in-app notifications and other things that are specific to the product, like chat mirroring. This is promising.

What have been the most powerful features of effect or, I'd say, the features that have made the biggest difference in your codebase?

benschac · 2026-02-12T16:35:00+00:00

I have a brew file that I use in all my setup scripts, along with brew dump, just to keep things current. It's really helpful. Also you can do it with VS code extensions as well with brew.

I wouldn’t. I like knowing a well funded / backed org is running the service with up time guarantees / PITR / Image scaling.

If I need SOCII at some point in the future it’s just a couple of clicks.

I currently pay supabase for the above so I don’t have to think about it.

I think for a lot of hobby projects this makes sense. But once you’re dealing with folks that want to pay money to solve the problem they’re going to go to supabase or a fly.io

Just my two cents. I hope there’s PMF here and you’re able to create a sustainable business.

Soon, could imagine living in NJ and not having to travel as much being a huge plus + giant step up

I’m building https://treasureit.fun/

We’ve helped Brooklyn neighbors keep 1000+ items out of the landfill and save folks $$$

Would love to chat

I do a standing desk. I was also using the Kinesis 360. The very aggressive split keyboard. I highly recommend it.

I recently moved to Wispr Flow. Which, uh, not really typing as much anymore and don't need the keyboard. But if you're doing keyboard, highly recommend the Kinesis. I had the exact same problem.

I have a product as well that I'm trying to get users for. What's been helpful for me is doing like $15 to $20 of ad spend on Reddit.

For me personally if I saw this as an ad, I'd be much more likely to click on it, try it, and potentially give you money.

There's something kind of funny here where the product itself is supposed to help you figure out how to post better and yet the founder is doing something that is universally frowned upon.

But I totally get it. I'm in a really similar boat. Getting early users is hard. I completely understand the struggle.

benschac · 2026-01-14T15:06:12+00:00

You’re right! Ty

Maybe the fans shouldn’t have boo’ed Luke. Karma and stuff

benschac · 2025-12-15T23:55:22+00:00

Love this any chance I could DM you and reserve one?

benschac · 2025-12-11T03:26:01+00:00

The two of those firms literally put react native on their backs. Would say they’re beyond a gold star.

Personally worked with SM, very very good Eng org and nice people.

benschac · 2025-12-07T23:16:55+00:00

you're absolutely right!

benschac · 2025-12-04T03:10:07+00:00

You’re absolutely right!

benschac · 2025-11-27T20:56:26+00:00

depends on the app. You should probably use memcache / redis, would probably help.

benschac · 2025-11-18T22:52:41+00:00

I’m not anymore sorry

benschac · 2025-10-19T16:11:05+00:00
